The Non-Bantu Languages of North-Eastern Africa
Originally published in 1956, this volume presents a survey of the non-Bantu languages in the area extending south of the Sahara from Lake Chad to the Indian Ocean, together withj those of South Africa. The arrangement is primarily linguistic, in as much as larger units which show some indisputable affinities are where possible treated contiguously. Languages in the centre of the total area are discussed first, followed by thos ein the west, nort…
The Eastern Sudanic Languages
Originally published in 1940 this book focusses on the three main groups of Eastern Sudanic languages, namely Moru-Madi, Bong-Baka-Bagirmi and Ndogo-Sere. The term 'Eastern Sudanic Languages' is used here primarily in a geographical sense: the dialects in the Southern Sudan form the eastern boundary of sudanic speech, where it borders on the Nilotic wedge which, in turn divides it from Hamitic speech. Despite being described because of their geog…

Isolated Unit? Mbugu
Tribal
1 . Reference has already been made to the main groups of Eastern Sudanic speakers in and about the Southern Sudan. In this chapter each group will be analysed in detail. In the case of some tribes, attempts have been made at an exact census. In other cases only the number of taxpayers is given; in such cases a fair estimate of tribal strength may be obtained by multiplying the number of taxpayers by four

The 'Mbugu' anomaly
The people known to both Africans and Europeans as Mbugu (Wambugu, Vambugu) live in the western Usambara mountains in Tanzania among the Sambaa. Their language, long known as posing a linguistic problem, is usually-described as having a non-Bantu lexicon and a Bantu grammatical structure. However, the actual linguistic situation is somewhat more complicated than this, as our researches (A.N.T. 1965, M.A.B. 1959) now show

Fringe Cushitic
The present article may perhaps be regarded as supplementary to Professor Klingenheben's article, 'Die Präfix- und die Suffixkonjugationen des Hamitosemitischen', MIO, IV, 2, 1956, 210-77, in much the same way as that article followed on the article 'Verbalbau und Verbalflexion in den semitohamitischen Sprachen' by Dr. Otto Rössler, ZDMG, C, 2, 1950, (pub.) 1951, 461-514
E. O. Ashton—an appreciation
October 2, 1964, was the ninetieth birthday of Mrs. E. 0. Ashton, and the School of Oriental and African Studies would like to take this opportunity of paying its respects to one of its oldest and most loved colleagues. It is no exaggeration to say that Africa, and especially East Africa, is full of men and women, many of them old themselves, who look upon her with esteem and affection
Systems of Tone-Marking African Languages
The following paper does not set out to be a comprehensive comparison of tonal systems-it is rather an account of my own experiences with various methods, with special reference to tone-marking in dictionaries and vocabularies. For this reason a certain amount of biographical detail is inevitable

Linguistic Survey of the Northern Bantu Borderland
Philology and Africa
Philological studies in Africa are inevitably bound up with the vexed question of the classification of its languages. Many authorities have attempted this classification. Some, like Oust, Drexel, Delafosse, van Bulck, rely on evidence which is as much ethnological as linguistic, while others, like Müller, Meinhof, Westermann, Werner, Sir Harry Johnston, Guthrie, Homburger, Greenberg, and the various authors of the 'Handbook of African Languages'…

Foreign Sounds in Swahili
270. In order to understand the somewhat bewildering vowel-alternation in Arabic-Swahili verbs and their derivatives, it is first necessary to have before one the behaviour-pattern of the verb in Arabic. Taking a verb with three radicals as paradigm, we find it has ten possible forms, i.e. a " fundamental " form and nine " derived " forms

Sotho-Nguni Orthography and Tone-Marking
FOR years now the question of orthography in the South African Bantu languages has kept the authorities busy. It flares up periodically in different parts of the country, and local committees are called from time to time to deal with the conflagration.In the past, unfortunately, these committees have too often concerned themselves with the problems of one language only, and apparently ignored both the effect their decisions would have on literatu…

The Linguistic Situation in the Southern Sudan
It is only of late years that the Sudan Government has laid particular stress on the language side of Southern administration. Hitherto all official intercourse with the natives had been through the medium of Arabic, the official language of the North. It became apparent after a while that the form of Arabic spoken in the Southern provinces was so debased as to be hardly practical. Unlike the Northerners, whose religion and culture is Islamic and…
Survey of the Language Groups in the Southern Sudan
The Southern Sudan may be regarded a, s one of the most interesting of African fields for the comparative linguist and anthropologist, for it is here that the Eastern " Sudanic " and the Western " Hamitic " races meet, and it is here also that one finds that peculiar wedge of people who, for want of a better term, are called " Nilotes

On going through the papers of Dr. Alice Werner, I found many valuable and interesting documents. Miss Mary Werner very generously presented these papers to the School, and it is the aim of the African Department to edit and publish them from time to time in the Bulletin. It is hoped that the following short article will be the forerunner of an extensive series. A. N. T

The Spelling of African Place-Names on Maps
In the past African place-names were recorded by Europeans who often had little or no knowledge of the African languages concerned, or of phonetics, and who therefore used the nearest " home " spelling. This " home " spelling depended largely on the nationality of the map-maker concerned, and the result was blocks of English, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese spellings, of varying degrees of accuracy, in the various " spheres of interest". …
